For years, enterprises have turned to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for what it does best: powering mission-critical applications with unmatched performance, security, and predictable economics.
OCI has historically staked its reputation on being the go-to platform for organizations running complex, data-intensive workloads, from core databases and ERP systems to large-scale compute clusters, while putting extra focus on security and predictable pricing.
Now, over the last few weeks with the announcement of the Oracle AI Data Platform and a continued partnership with NVIDIA, Oracle is doubling down on that foundation, positioning OCI as the cloud provider for the age of AI.
With its next-generation GPU infrastructure, AI superclusters, and cost-efficient high-performance compute, Oracle is giving customers a new reason to consider building the future of AI on OCI.
While CloudZero has supported OCI for years through our AnyCost™ ingestion framework, we knew now was the time to go further, to invest in a stronger, native integration that delivers an industry-leading experience for our customers using OCI.
That’s why today, we’re announcing a new, native connection with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cost and usage, giving enterprises the same granular visibility, allocation accuracy, and real-time insights they expect from our AWS, Azure, and GCP adapters.
If you’re betting on OCI for AI training, inference, or other high-performance compute, this is how you make the cost story as strong as the performance story.
Why Oracle + CloudZero
Enterprises are adopting multi-cloud architectures and turning to OCI for GPU capacity and cost-efficient, high-throughput infrastructure. But the finance and engineering questions haven’t changed:
- Which models, projects, or training runs are driving spend?
- Are GPU clusters under- or over-utilized?
- What’s the unit cost of a feature, a model, or a token, and how is it trending?
Can we attribute OCI costs to the teams and customers who actually create them?
Oracle’s native tools surface the bill. CloudZero tells you whether your spend was worth it, tying spend to engineering activity and business outcomes so you can prove (or improve) the ROI on your spend with OCI.
This improved integration ingests, normalizes, and analyzes OCI cost data so you can view Oracle spend alongside AWS, Azure, GCP, PaaS, SaaS, and AI services all through a single, consistent lens.
With this integration, as with all of our existing integrations, our team focused on driving a few key outcomes for our customers:
- Real-time visibility into AI/GPU cost drivers: Detect anomalies and utilization drift before finance closes the books. Give your engineers hourly visibility into when and where context windows, dataset sizes, or batch changes impact costs.
- Granular allocation by project/model/run: Attribute GPU time, storage, and data services to the business dimensions that align to how your teams build: product, feature, workspace, model family, training job, etc. You decide.
- Unit economics you can defend: Track cost per model, cost per token or token type, cost per customer, and more so ROI conversations move from anecdotes to evidence.
- Multi-cloud consistency: Measure Oracle right next to AWS, Azure, and GCP with the same methodologies, dashboards, alerts, and guardrails.
Why CloudZero Is Different
Most tools show you a bill. CloudZero shows you cause and effect.
Our dimension-based allocation and real-time intelligence tie OCI spend to the exact engineering choices that create it. That means you can tune batch sizes, switch model tiers, right-size clusters, or reassign costs to the correct customer — and see the financial impact immediately.
Once you start using CloudZero, you’ll get:
- A unified dashboard showing Oracle and non-Oracle spend together.
- Top cost drivers in your OCI footprint by service, project, team, or whatever other dimension your business requires.
- Anomaly alerts that can go directly to the right stakeholders and provide direct links to hour-by-hour views of the spike.
- Allocation accuracy that stands up to quarterly reviews and compliance audits.
